Excerpt from Cinder-Path Tales T is something Of an experience for an Englishman, after thirty years' absence, to Stand on the steps of Morley's and face the sunlight Of Trafalgar Square. He may not own a foot of English soil, he may have no friend left to meet him, he may even have become a citizen of the Great Republic, but he cannot look at the tall shaft on which the little sailor stands without a breath of pride, a mist in his eye, and a lump in his throat.

William Lindsey was born on August 12, 1858 in Fall River, Massachusetts, United States, the son of William and Maria (Lovell) Lindsey.
Lindsey completed his education in the public schools of Fall River.
Lindsey was employed or engaged in a number of businesses, for the most part connected with or dependent upon cotton manufacturing. In 1886 he moved to Boston and became a salesman for establishments dealing in textile products. He was to those who knew him intimately at this time a rather unusual person, for though he possessed both aptitude and enthusiasm for business, he also displayed literary tastes and ambitions not usually associated with ability in practical affairs. He accumulated a considerable and choice collection of books for a man of his means, and he tried his hand at authorship, publishing a book of poems, The Apples of Istakhar, in 1895, and a collection of short stories dealing with athletics, Cinder Path Tales, in 1896. But he did not neglect money making. In 1899 he succeeded in securing the adoption by the British government of a fabric belt for carrying ammunition, and he established factories in England, France, and Germany to supply the demand created by the outbreak of the Boer War.
In 1904 he retired and returned to Boston to live on the considerable fortune thus created, which was to be increased by the World War. His circumstances now permitted him to devote himself more completely to literature, and in 1909 he published in London and Boston The Severed Mantle, a romance of medieval Provence. This was followed in 1915 by The Red Wine of Roussillon, a blank-verse drama having Southern France in the Middle Ages for its setting. Under the title of Seremonda, it was performed in New York from January 1 to February 10, 1917, and afterward in Boston and Chicago, with Julia Arthur in the title role. His next work was a novel having the region of the Adirondacks for its setting. Called The Backsliders, it appeared in 1922, followed in 1923 by a posthumous volume, The Curtain of Forgetfulness, a sonnet sequence. In general, his literary works reflect books more than they do life. He died in Boston.

Lindsey married Annie Hawthorne Sheen on December 16, 1884. In 1915 one of Lindsey's daughters, who was on her way to England with her husband immediately after their marriage, lost her life in the sinking of the Lusitania. As a memorial to her, her parents erected a chapel adjoining Emmanuel Church in Boston which has come to be recognized as a structure of architectural and artistic distinction.
